1t is said to be q matter of wonder
how many people are anxious to enter
into the employment Of the railroads at
present. A st. Paal man. worth mill
ions, wanted to be enrolled as a humble
hagman the other day. and thousands of
other men with wealth, good business
and gratifying incomes are asking for
like humble employment. Is this be-
cause the being a railroad employee is .
sort of badge of royalty in this country.
or is it because railroad employees are
permitted, even under the Interstate
Commerce bill, to enjoy that boone, de-
MED now to other m~ortals, a railroad
pass?-Red Wing Republican.

General Logan.

THERE was but one man on the vol
unteer side in the Union Army who
.anked up to General Logan. and
that man was Frank Blair, Jr., of ST.
Louis. He never lost his political
determination. however, and as soon
as the war was over he relapsed from
a radical TO radical conservative, and
advised the opening Of hostilities rath-
err than let Grant remain in peace.
With chat example so close at hand
Logan never looked to the right or
the left or backward: No doubt
around him were thrown ten times the
temptations any other important Off
Ger had to retrace MS steps and reor-
ganize his old political levies. He
preferred to go on and to take com
mand of the great pnissant patriotic
majority which had believed like him
self. ST. Paul, after prosecuting the
Christians, became no more thorough
ly their captain than Logan, putting
Egypt behind 20 be the prophet
of the faithful.
The only comparison you can ind
with Logan is with such men as Rusk,
of Wisconsin, or Blunt, of Kansas, in
domitab!e personal: leaders, without
military education. Yet compared to
Logan. each of these is very crude.
Crudeness or rawness is wholly COM
peritive quantity. Set John A. Logan
by some book-made, quicksilvery. al
most Transparent form ula.or ofspeech-
es, and he would seem like bison,
but put him beside men of his own
raising, like Blunt and Rusk, and you
perceive kind of Napoleon, supreme
in quickness of thought, of repartee,
leadership, and, withal, judgment
Logan remains to US one of the
strangest instances in history of the
representative ola reactionary province
or locality who drew his sword for the
Republic in defiance of his environ
ment- 1t seldom happens that reae-
tionaries ever become liberal heroes.

Chicago Times says of Whittrock that
he "was an amateuS at train rob5ing-
it was his first crime of that sort--but
he kept q coal yard, and from that
the descent is rapid. 1t is but short
step from keeping coal yard to

The democracy will perhaps suffer as
great loss in the death of Gen. Lo-
gan as republicanism. Though Che
Illinois republicans have no man who
can fill his place as a statesman, they
will be likely to elect some hide-bound
partisan to succeed him. Logan was
beginning TO show such Independence
in his latter career that many leading
republican sheets throughout the coun-
try were assailing him with the most
malignant abuse.

ALL winter long there will be hun
dreds:: yes, thousands of people coming
to Kansas. In the eastern states land
is high. The soll'is old and worn and
hard to. cultivate. Rents are high and
farmers who rent stand but little show
for even a good living. People there
realize this fully and they only have
TO hook back decade or two and see
how the wealthy farmers acquired
their homes and in many cases wealth.
They did it when the country was new.
when they could buy land for less than
they now rent it for each year. The
advantages offered in homes for the
homeless in Kansas are no puzzle but
stand out clear and bold to the view of
all. 1t will only be few years when
land will be as high in. Kansas as it
now is in Indiana and Illinois. Rich
quarter sections that can now be bought
for low price will in few years be
quoted at six to ten thousand. This
is not guess work; it is history repeat
ing itself.

The Public Lands. And The Poor.
The estimates of the government
gives the figures 515, 000,0 as the
basis for calculations on the number
of acres of public lands subject to
settlement These include the great
areas monopolized by the cattle com
panies and d8O,000,OO0 of arid and
barren lands not suitable for settle
ment. One half of the total number
of acres, or PSI, 5OO.O 900, comprises the
actual reserve yet in the hands of the
government subject to the homestead,
the pre-emption and the timber culture
acts, and a considerable part of this
limited area IS not suitable for the
poor man who can not avail himself
of the benefits of irrigation.
If it be assumed that 200, 000,0 900
acres are available for settlement, it
will be seen that large area is still
open, and that the poor men have yet
to secure homes for them
selves and their families. But when
to this area shall be added the mag
nifcent domain which congress will
